Data Conversion Laboratory is proud to announce its inclusion in KMWorld’s newly launched 2025 Leaders Group. Read more: is.gd/b1uTPg

At KMWorld 2025 next week in Washington, DC, we're exhibiting at booth 306, and Mark Gross will be a presenter (is.gd/oobvWx) at KMWorld 2025's Text Analytics Forum.
A white banner headlined by the text "Trustworthy AI" and a quote from Mark Gross, President of Data Conversion Laboratory (DCL): “At DCL, innovation is not just about chasing the latest technology; it’s about identifying the right technology to solve real business problems in practical, scalable, and economical ways. We see structured content and text analytics not as byproducts of AI, but as a foundational strategy that enables organizations to unlock deeper understanding and lasting value from their knowledge.” At the right side of the banner is a photo of Mark Gross in a circular border, and below it, DCL's logo. Two translucent ribbons, one orange and one teal, twist loosely around each other along the bottom of the banner.

It holds a paper reading "Structured Content" in its right mitten-like hand and a card reading "XML" in tagging brackets its left. At its feet is a paper with a forward slash between tagging brackets printed on it, and above the machine is a shield with "Trustworthy AI" and a checkmark printed on it.

Banner with white background and dark yellow and turquoise translucent horizontal ribbons swirling around each other at the bottom. Text: "Content Crystallizer Set to Transform Scientific Publishing Pipeline at 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭." Quote from DCL's David Turner: "The value of Content Crystallizer for The BMJ is that we’ve automated multiple editorial tasks and checks, as well as created lookups of third-party data from sources like Crossref and PubMed—all customized to The BMJ’s specific requirements. Yet the solution includes human-in-the-loop review, which is proving to be the winning approach for research integrity and editorial excellence." On the right side of the banner are a photo of David Turner and DCL's logo.

Cartoon drawing of an anthropomorphic washing machine labeled "AI," with suds seen through its front-loader window. The machine has arms, one of which holds a red shirt with water dripping from it; a basket of folded laundry sits next to it. The machine has an expression on its cartoon face that gleefully suggests thoughts of mischief.
